Interesting, but rather strange looking shot! The reflection is so perfect that it makes for one bizarre looking creature. 😀

  Shhhh…don’t let him hear you say he looks bizarre, they are very sensitive and we don’t want to hurt their feelings.

Nice photo!
(I can hear the “Jaws” movie theme song playing in my head as I picture this alligator lurking around in the water. Don’t ask my why…for some reason it just is.)

  There should be a music soundtrack playing in the background, I’m sure the alligators would love to have their own theme!

  The alligator would be pleased to hear you say that I’m sure. They love being ominous!

Looks like he is floating in the sky doesn’t he? due to the reflection.

  I can’t believe I didn’t think of that but you are right it does look like sky! Thanks!
